Apple-almond strudel

(Voor Nederlandse tekst, scroll naar beneden.)

The May Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Linda of make life sweeter! and Courtney of Coco Cooks. They chose Apple Strudel from the recipe book Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafés of Vienna, Budapest and Prague by Rick Rodgers.

However, we were free to choose any filling for our strudel, as long as we made the strudel dough from scratch. I have been thinking for hours, about ham and cheese, chocolate and cherries, salmon and sour cream, but in the end I decided to stay near the recipe, still change it to my own taste.So I made apple strudel, and added shredded almonds on top, and the one ingredient that makes my apple pies so irresistable: almond paste (the one that has 50% almonds). I left rum and walnuts out.The original recipe can be read on many of the other Daring Bakers' blogs. You can find them in our temporary blogroll http://thedaringkitchen.com/blogroll/bakers , which will be replaced soon.
